This book presents a study of the stability of mechanical systems,i.e. their free response when they are removed from their positionof equilibrium after a temporary disturbance. After reviewing themain analytical methods of the dynamical stability of systems, ithighlights the fundamental difference in nature between thephenomena of forced resonance vibration of mechanical systemssubjected to an imposed excitation and instabilities thatcharacterize their free response. It specifically developsinstabilities arising from the rotor-structure coupling,instability of control systems, the self-sustained instabilitiesassociated with the presence of internal damping and instabilitiesrelated to the fluid-structure coupling for fixed androtating structures. For an original approach following theanalysis of instability phenomena, the book provides examples ofsolutions obtained by passive or active methods.
